Random Thoughts of the Day
- I remember back when every time Trump put some kind of tariff on China, the media would squeal incessantly about how this would hurt consumers as businesses would have to raise prices to cover the cost of the tax. How often have you heard these same people say anything about price increases with Joe Biden’s proposed tax hike on all corporations, not just the ones that buy from China?
- Did you ever notice how easily people accept certain statements from the media & politicians if they’re repeated enough? For example, they all keep saying we need to repair “our crumbling infrastructure.” The U.S. has the best infrastructure in the world by far, and while there are always little areas that need to be repaired or reinforced, there is no crumbling infrastructure. It’s simply good talking points to say it is and provides good cover for creating new political slush funds out of taxpayer money.
- When you study history, how often do you see monarchies or dictatorships thrive through several generations? Why do they always crumble? Because no matter how benevolent and intelligent a leader may be, eventually the spoiled, idiot descendants will have to take power. The same is true for socialist/communist governments. When you put more and more power in a smaller group of people, eventually that power will be passed on. No matter how well meaning the original intent, eventually people like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer will be in charge. We’re now living with the results of several decades of both Republicans and Democrats growing government into the incompetent, big-spending mess it is now.
- It’s common practice of politicians on both the Right and Left to only do interviews with “friendly” reporters; i.e. the ones that won’t ask them the tough questions. With that said, how often have you seen Dr. “I’m not the least bit political” Fauci give interviews on Fox News or One America News, compared to his several-times-per-day appearances on MSNBC & CNN?
